The most profound book on Orienteering ever writen!!!
Here is what I have to say about this book. It is most likely ordained my Christ himself. It is rumored that George Atkinson and Hans Bengtsson we speaking directly to Jesus Christ as he carefully instructed them what to put into the book. After the book was completed Jesus asked Carl Marx and Henry David Thoreau to critique it and offer suggestions. The two worked aimlessly scouring each jot and tittle for significance. ... Read more

Product Description
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) recognised the sport of mountain bike racing relatively late in 1990, when it sanctioned the world championships in Purgatory, Colorado. The first mountain biking world cup series took place in 1991. Its nine-race circuit covered two continents?Europe and North America?and was sponsored by Grundig. In 1992, the Grundig-UCI world cup circuit expanded to ten races, and remained a trans-Atlantic series. Cross-country racing was the only world cup sport at this time, then in 1993 a six-event downhill world cup was introduced. In 1996, cross-country mountain biking events were added to the Olympic Games. NORBA refers to the Board of Trustees that represent the sport of mountain bike racing for USA Cycling. There are three USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Calendars: Endurance, Gravity and Ultra-Endurance. USA Cycling runs the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships. In 2006, cross-country mountain biking events became part of the World Deaf Cycling Championships for the first time in San Francisco, USA. ... Read more

Excerpt: Christopher William "Chris" Brasher CBE (21 August 1928 28 February 2003) was a British athlete, sports journalist and co-founder of the London Marathon. Born in Georgetown, Guyana, Brasher was a student of the Duke of York's Royal Military School and later a graduate of St John's College, Cambridge. In 1954, he acted as pacemaker for Roger Bannister when the latter ran the first sub-four-minute mile at the Iffley Road Stadium in Oxford. Brasher paced Bannister for the first two laps, while his friend Chris Chataway paced the third. Two years later, at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, Brasher finished first in the 3,000 metres steeplechase with a time of 8 minutes 41.2 seconds, but was disqualified for allegedly interfering with another runner, Ernst Larsen of Norway. The following day, after an investigation, he was reinstated as gold medallist. He was one of the pioneers of orienteering in Britain and can claim the first public mention of the sport in an article in The Observer in 1957. I have just taken part, for the first time, in one of the best sports in the world. It is hard to know what to call it. The Norwegians call it 'orientation'...He had distinguished careers in journalism as sports editor for The Observer newspaper and in broadcasting, as a reporter for the Tonight programme. In 1971 he founded "Chris Brasher's Sporting Emporium" which later became "Sweatshop". In 1978 he designed the innovative Brasher Boot a walking boot with the comfort of a running shoe. Three years later, he founded the London Marathon. In 1983 he became the second president of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races, an office which he held until 1987. He was married to tennis champion Shirley Brashe... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=189633 ... Read more
